Beer-sellers on a Strike.

NEW YORK. March The beer sellers of
this city have gone on a strike against the
beer makers. 1t is all on account of a pool
that the millionaire brewers made a few
months ago. under which competition among
themselves was practically suppressed and a
saloOnkeeper was compelled TO take the beer
that the particular brewer he had been buving
from would sell him, or pay 10 per cent more
Tor it The pool also adopted stringent rules
10 prevent any cutting of prices between the
different breweries and to do away with the
system of enticing custom To one brand or
another Of beer BY presenting the salooukeep
er with gaudy signs, expensive decorations
and similar bonuses. For three months III,
saloonkeepers have been organized for battle,
and to-day thev hung their banner on the
outer front doors and defied their eX-masters.
Ihe banner bore the inscription. NO pool
beer sold here. Down with the monopoly in
meant business. They claim 2,5o member
and the brewers admit 1000, but assert that
the few breweries not in the pool cannot sup
ply the demand and that the saloonkeepers
VIII have to buy pool beer or close.

GREAT ANXIETY.

And the region of the abdomen was
much swollen. All this meant acute
inflammation Of the peritoneum. The
cause of it was sought after in various
ways. 1t was noticed that there was
an entire cessation of the work, usually
performed by the kidneys and that
there was an exceedingly pungent
odor thrown off from skin. The abdo-
men continued 20 swell and had drop
steal appearance. As a matter of eX-
pertinent. ii was punctured and the
liquid that was discharged was urine
which had been extravasated between
the muscles and the skin.
There could be but one conclusion
from this which WAS that the bladder was
ruptured. This is one of the most dam
gerous injuries, and there is only one
case in England and none in this coun-
try in which the patient lived after
ward. The success which has attended
many recent operations upon the a5dO-
men led Dr. A,pell to determine, in
this case. 10 open the abdomen and
give whatever surgical assistance the
condition of things demanded.
Several distinguished surgeons at

puRYYAR AT LAST FULLY REALIZING
THE SITUATION.
he Sheds Tears-A Breach of Promise Suit
orders Of Knighthood-
Matrimonial.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
July II, 1887.
The thirty days respite granted by
the Governor to Puryear excited neither
surprise nor comment here. IL was ex-
pected that brief suspension of SEN
tence would be made to allow suitable
preparation for death. The prisoner
now realizes to the fullest extent that
he must pay the penalty of the crime
of which he was convicted. He mani
tested great uneasiness all day yester-
day about the result of his last appeal
to the Governor, and when the news of
the respite was announced to him last
night he shed tears of joy-the first
approach even 10 tears that has been
noticed during his two years confine-
ment.
A number Of our people had made
arrangements TO go down to Prince
George Courthouse tomorrow with the
hope of witnessing the execution.
Puryear's demeanor has very much
changed since the Governors action,
and he will now devote himself to the
preparation of his soul for eternity. He
will have constant spiritual advice. He
refuses to see any one except his
spiritual adviser, his counsel. and his
immediate friends.
The next term of the County Court
of Chesterfield county will have on its
docket n case of breach of promise,
the parties to which are well known IN
the county and in this city.
